Boston Celtics: 5 Takeaways From Game 3 Victory

The Boston Celtics were able to dig themselves out of an 0-2 hole with a Game 3 victory over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.

After two losses in the opening two games of the first-round series versus the Chicago Bulls, the Boston Celtics really needed a win. The Celtics were able to come through, with a commanding 17-point victory.

The victory now brings the Celtics one game away from tying up the series and moving on beyond the first round. This team looked completely different from the team that dropped two games in Boston.

The Celtics led nearly the entire game and ended with the reserves from both squads seeing minutes.

The Celtics would do themselves a huge favor winning Game 4. Dropping into a 3-1 hole is usually a death sentence (insert Warriors joke here), and if the Celtics do indeed win Game 4, then it would be hard to not see them advancing.

This Celtics team looked like the the Celtics of the regular season; the team that was the first seed in the Eastern Conference. The ball movement was on point, every player contributed, and no one player was relied upon too heavily.

All in all, this was most definitely the best the Boston Celtics have looked this postseason.
